Santa Anna was still in Kingston, but had
put forth a statement that he intended to leave
for Carthagena. It was supposed, however,
that he intended to return to Mexico. His
private secretary and intended son-in-law, Don
Francisco Arriilaga, came passenger on the
Forth, and is now on his way to Vera Cruz,
which place he left on the steamer Severn, on
the August last, and proceeded directly
to Jamaica, where he ever since has been in in
timate connection with his patron, Santa Anna.
It is thought if Santa Anna returns to Mexico,
that he will unite with Paredes.— Pic., idhinst.

great rapidity.
A public meeting was lately held at Bastrop
to petition the Governor to convene the Legis
lature, in order to take into consideration the
subjects of land titles, the apportionment bill,
ami the sales of property for back taxes.
The preamble to the resolutions adopted un
the occasion, we learn from the Galveston
Civilian, sets forth that certain persons have
located, and are locating certificates upon tracts
ofland, long since granted to colonists, who
have supposed their titles to be indisputable,
subjecting the owners to vexatious litigation,
and preventing the sales of property ; that
“ much dissatisfaction prevails on account of
the illegal apportionment billand that “much
difficulty and inconvenience to all citizens own
ing land out of lhe counly in which they reside,
has been and must necessarily be the result
of the operation of the former law.” An extra
session of the Legislature is then asked to con
sider these matters, and “in order to procure
the passage of a law to prevent the locations
which have heretofore been granted to the citi
zens ofTexas.” The Civilian opposes an ex
tra session, on the grounds that the judicial tri
bunals are the proper ones to settle disputed
claims, ami -.hat the good which may he ob
tained from an extra session, will not be ade
quate to the expense.
A Pleasant Incident—A Youn<* Soldier
from Taylor’s Army.—At a meeting of lhe
Bough ami Ready Chib of one of the city
wards held on Tuesday evening last, after lhe
business had been transacted and an adjourn
ment was about to take place, a pale faced
youth, apparently about nineteen years of
age, and a stranger to all present, asked per
mission of the President to say a few words
about Gen Taylor. His request was of course
granted. There was a proton ml silence in the
meeting when he rose, ami with
tion, apologized for asking to be heard, lie
said he had reason to know General Taylor ;
he knew him as a man and a soldier. He had
been in his army seventeen months, ami a
iiortion of that time, when he was sick and ex
lansted by long marches, and ready to din. he
found a warm hearted friend and protector in
General Zachary Taylor. “ Gentlemen,” said
he, “I am hut nineteen years old—l am a
stranger here, and never attempted to speak in
public. But I have read in some of the papers
attacks upon < Jen. Taylor’s character as a man
—charging him with inhumanity and cruelty,
ami I want to say bluntly, that such charges
are false—false from beginning to end, no mat
ter who utters them. 1 have seen cruelly and
inhumanity on the part of subordinate officers
to their men—inhuman punishments inflicted
for slight offences: but nerer in the presence of
firn. Taylor— who was always a kind father
and protector to the poor soldier, and whom
every honest soldier in the army loved. No
of honor who ever served under him. will
charge him with cruelly, either to his own
ffbops or to the enemy. 1 was with him at
4’ort Brown—marched with him to Point Isabel
—was in the battles of Palo Alto. Resaca and
Monterey. After the capture of Matamoros,
instead of using one of the houses in the city
as his quarters, lie gave them all up to lhe sick,
wounded and sutfering soldiers, and slept in his
tent on abed that was not mor** than four inch
es above the mud and water that surrounded
it.
The speaker related many interesting incidents
connected with lhe movements of the army,
illustrating the benevolence of Gen. Taylor,
and lhe perfect confidence of the troops in the
goodness of his heart, and his skill as a com
mander. “He made us all feel as if every
man was double, and had twice lhe strength
that we really possessed, and could do twice as
much work as any other army in the world
He was alway s the first to meet danger, and
used to tell us to watch him close, and nerer to
run till he ran. But he never run from the
enemy; he never turned away from a sutfering
soldier without doing all that he could to re
lieve and cheer him. “On the march to Se
rai v o.” continued the youth, “my strength gave
out. and if it had not been for Gen. Taylor. I
might have been left upon lhe road to die or
be murdered But he saw me. and knew
from my looks that 1 was exhausted. IL* took
me up and sat me on his mule, and I rode with
him in that way for several days. He saved
my life then, and I am ready to give him every
drop of my blood, whenever he wants a sol
dier.” * * * At one
time we were almost out of provisions. We
had nothingto rat but musty biscuit, and slush
ed. maggotty pork. An officer went to Gen.
Taylor, and complained that he could not rat
such food. •Well, sir.’said the General, •come
and take your dinner with me.”
The invitation was gladly accepted, and the
officer, anticipating a first rate dinner, dressed
himself up. and went to the quar.ers of the
General; but instead of finding a regular dm
ner table, tilled w ith delicacies, he saw the
General sitting before a tire, toasting a piece
of the same old slushed pork on a stick, and
that, with some musty biscuit and a little bran
soup, made the dinner for himself and the dis
appointed officer, who expected to dine on
roast beef and plum pudding. That gentle
man didn't oat any more dinners with General
Tav lor.”
The young soldier continued his interesting
narrative about twenty minutes, his bright eye
often flashing with indignation, when speaking
of the slanders with which Gen. Taylor is as
saileu.and his voice trembling with emotions of
gratitude and affection m the relation of lhe
benevolent acts of the noble hero and patriot
We need not say that he was frequently inter
rupted by lhe hearty applause of the meeting.
Al lhe conclusion of his remarks, the President
having ascertained trom the >t ranger his name,
announced to the audience that the young man
who had addressed them was Serg't Edward
Sherman, of Massarhusets. PAiZ. .Verra*.

jgp’By the late law of Congress the election for
President and Vice-President is to be held «n all the
States on the same day, viz: Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. This year, therefore, the
election occurs on Tuesday the 7th day of November.
All persons entitled to vote for members of the Legis
lature are cniitledto vote for President and Vice-Pre
sident.
The above is the Taylor Electoral Ticket, for
which every man must vote entire, who desires the
success of “ Old Zack.”
The Southern Cultivator.
We hope every friend of Southern Agricul
ture will read the Prospectus of the Southern
Cultivator, in another column of this paper.
The new volume commences in January, and
the Publishers hope their friends will come
promptly to their aid in this great enterprise.
Whigs! To Your Posts!
Every Whig in Georgia is expected to do
his duty, his whole duty, from now till the close
of the election. The vote of Georgia can easi
ly be given to General Taylor, if the Whigs
work—but they must work, and work faithful
ly. Let every friend of Old Zack put his
shoulder to the wheel, and his triumph in Geor
gia will be as easy as it will be brilliant. We
have neither time or inclination now to make
stirring appeals to induce Whigs to do their
duty. They all know it, and they owe it to
themselves, their cause, ami the country, to
perform it faithfully and zealously.
Election Returns.
Having ascertained who are the successful
candidates in the several Congressional dis
tricts, lhe only object of interest now is, the
popular vote, which can only be arrived at by
lhe official returns at lhe Executive office. We
shall, therefore, omit lhe further publication of
our table until we can furnish the official re
port. We avail ourselves, however, of the
occasion to assure our Whig friends that the
returns have only served to increase our confi
dence in our ability to carry lhe State for
“ < >l<l Zack.” All we want is to have our votes
polled, and the vote of Georgia will as certain
ly be given to Taylor and Fillmore, as the
day arrives. When “ Ohl Rough and Ready”
is started in the race, a new impetus will be
given to the Whig cause, and he will distance
every Whig candidate for Congress in every
district in the State. Mark the prediction.
Florida Election.
The returns from Florida are swelling the
Whig majorities for Cabell and Brown —
indeed the Whigs seem to be carrying every
thing. The Cass “blister” will not stick on
voting Florida—she has too much regard for
her institutions and rights. As far as received
the returns indicate large gains for the W higs
in every section of the State heard from. The
State is certain for “Old Zack.”
Free Schools in Nashville.
The intelligent citizens of Nashville have
done themselves great credit by voting to tax
their property for the support of free public
schools in that city. We learn from lhe Han
ner that only 137 votes were cast against the
measure, whilst the number for it was 668.
That ab’e Wliigjournal remarks:
“ Wc ho|M», now, tint no time will be lost in pushing
the matter forward; and that spre»lily, we shall have
the pleasure of seeing the destitute children of the
city tn this particular amply provided for. The mere
idea that it is about to be accomplished is enough to
gladden th«* beans of all who have anv true benevo
lence. We, for ourself, cordially tender our thanks
to Professor Ingraham whoh is labored assiduously
ami done so much to achieve so desirable an object.”
W’e question whether there is a city, village
or rural district in the Union, where free schools
have been fairly established, in which they do
not give entire satisfaction on the score of util
ity. It is found by experience so much cheap
er to prevent the pauperism and crimes that
ffow from gross ignorance and brutality, in
communities where intellectual and moral cul
ture are sadly neglected, than it is to support
the one and punish the other, that property
holders become unanimous in favor of free
schools. They find that real estate is enhanced
in value—commands a better rent —in cities
and villages where all are well educated. It
is impracticable to separate lhe moral from the
reasoning faculties in lhe minds of persons,
and fu’ly to develope the former, whilst the
latter remain in primitive darkness. Hence
the importance of good public schools, as well
as Churches, which shall be alike accessible to
all. Society injures itself when it demes either
moral or intellectual instruction to any children,
who are growing up in ignorance, and destin
ed to impress their own characters on lhe com
munity at large.
Under our system, which makes the masses
absolute kings and rulers, it is downright luna
cy to prefer the reign of sovereigns that can
neither read nor write, to the government of
well educated men. Every poor white boy in
our streets is a prince in the Republic. He is
to make the legislators, executive officers, and
indirectly, appoint all judges and jurors in the
State and nation. He is to keep or break the
peace, preserve or destroy our property, de
fend or invade or dearest personal rights. God
has conferred on this American prince, (who
will soon be a sovereign.) both reasoning fac
ulties and moral perceptions ; and ours will be
lhe fault it these great natural endowments are
perverted, and turned against the peace and
well-being of society by reason of a defective
or corrupt education. Whatever of injurv.
evil or wrong we can prevent, it is easier so to
do. than to work out a cure after it has come
upon us.
Semi him this way.
A Cot . Cikmkns. a distinguished Cass or
• ator of Huntsville. Ala . recently made a speech
! inthat place, which the Democrat pronounced
was able and conclusive, and demonstrated
I the utter unfitness of Gen. Taylor, and the su
: penor qualifications of Gen. Cass for the Pres
idency, the derp-dyed abo’. tionism of Fi.imore
and probable W -not Provisoism ol Tay»or.
and Cass’ freedom from both heresies, and
lhe consequent danger to the 2*oulh from
\\ . safety South
and the Unionfrom the success of the Demo
cratic nominees
According to this account of lhe Colonel s
distinguished abilities as a stump speaker, be
must i»e one of lhe most extraordinary men of
the age. We therefore entreat his friends to
send him this wav. as the friends of Geu C as*
.in tjiissection . sum up resolution to de
fend th 'inciples oi* their candidate, in refer
ence tu .s, ithern institutions. They will not
“aid him to interpolate his opinions upon the
Southern Democracy, ’* hence Col. Clemens
would be a valuable acquisition to the Cass
men in this region. To talk of lhe “ safety
of the South with Gen. Cass as President, while
her institutions and rights woukl be unsafe in
the care of Gen. Taylor, requires a degree of
cool, consummate impudence and unblushing
effrontery, which those alone can put on, who
four years ago endeavored to persuade South
ern men that Martin Van Buren was the
“naZuraZ ally” of the South— "a Northern
man with Southern principles. ”
Crack your whips, Boys!
The New Yoik Express contains a call for a Tay
lor meeting, signed by 700 cartmen.
Such demonstrations as this for Old Zack
are highly gratifying, for they afford unerring
indications that the hearts of the working men,
the industrial classes of the country, are with
him, and while that is the case, his march to lhe
high distinction that awaits him will be triumph
ant. This is no move of demagogues and po
litical intriguers, whose highest ambition is the
spoils of office ; on lhe contrary, it is the on
ward, progressive advance of the people, the
toiling sovereigns of the land, to entwine yet
another wreath around the brow of the honest,
brave Old Hero “ who never surrenders. ”
Let lhe working men in other sections—aye,
throughout the Republic—unite in doing honor
to the man who on every battle-field has borne
aloft and victorious, lhe Stars and Stripes.
Mr. Rives, late Senator in Congress from
Virginia, recently delivered a very able speech
before the Rough and Ready Club at Richmond,
in that State. In the course of his remarks, he
spoke thus of Mr. Fillmore, the candidate for
the Vice-Presidency :
Mr. R. said he knew Mr. Fillmore, and he was
proud to acknowledge Mr. Fillmore was the artificer
of his own fortunes. His noble friend, Scott (Gen-
Scott) had told him that he remembored seeing young
Fillmore almost a pauper boy in Buffalo. He had
risen entirely by his own exertions, and had a patent
of nobility from nature. Mr. R. was glad to honor and
do homage to such a man. A man cf more modesty,
and equanimity, and whose face more challenged re
spect, it had not been his fortune tosee. If we could
not believe him loyal to the Constitution, we might
despair of ever finding any man North of Mason and
Dixon’s line who was.
The distinguished Virginian does Mr. Fill
more no more than strict justice. His loyalty to
the Constitution and his opposition to all mere
sectional parlies, have secured to him the uni
form hostility of lhe anti-slavery men i n Western
New York, since his first election to Congress.
Os the truth of this statement the writer speaks
from a full knowledge of the fact.
Health of Augusta.
During the month of September, only three
white and four black persons died in this city
Os the whiles, one was an infant and another
over 70 years of age. Os the negroes, one was
70, one 75 and another 80 years old.
It will be difficult to find another town in the
Union where the ratio of mortality is so small
when compared with the population. The pu
rity of the atmosphere and fine spring water of
Augusta, have become proverbial. Mechanics
and manufacturers not only enjoy good health,
but the pecuniary advantage of a steady in
crease of paying customers. A considerable
addition to our population is expected, judging
from the new dwellings going up on several
streets.
The Whig Spirit iu New Orleans.
The Delta says that “ the Fillmore Rangers
had au enthusiastic organization meeting last
night. Capt. Robert M. McAlpin was chosen
President; that enthusiastic young Whig, Nor
grove, and several other gentlemen, were
named Vice-Presidents. The Rangers, imme
diately after their formation, resolved to hold a
Mass Meeting at Banks’ Arcade, on Friday
evening. 7th inst., at 7A o’clock. W’e are
requested to state, on the part of the officers of
lhe Association, that they cordially invite the
several Rough and Ready Clubs of the city to
unite with them on this occasion. Several pop
ular orators will address the meeting. ”
Villiany Exposed.
The Natchez Courier unmasks the villiany of
those patriotic and devoted Southern friends and
supporters of Gen. Cass, who, have been en
gaged in forwarding copies of Gen. Tav lor’s
lard and negro deeds to the Northern Cass
papers for publication. The Courier copies
the deeds and comments of these correspon
dents, (the same as published by us a few
weeks since.) and proceeds with the evidence
against the Cass men of Mississippi who were
engaged in this nefarious and treasonable de
sign against Southern institutions. It will be
seen that one of the correspondents, Stamps, is
Secretary of State in Mississippi, ami that Mr.
Polk has already rewarded F.lward for his
agency in this effort to betray the South.—
Since Mr. Polk’s treason to Southern rights
and institutions, hy his assent to the Wilmot
proviso, he is doubtless wondrous kind to all
such traitors. But we are keeping the reader
from the article of lhe Courier:
Who is the Southern correspondent of the Colum
bus (Ohio) Standard, and lhe New-Orleans curres
pondent ol the Boston (Massachusetts) Post? It is
important to know, lor our proj»erty, our rights, and
lives are threatened by such combinations, intended
now to defeat Gen. Taylor—calculated hereafter to
destroy the best interests of the South. Three appli
cations, and only three, have been made at the office
of the Probate Clerk of Jeff* rson county for transcripts
of Gen. I’aylor’s deeds.
The following statement, which will not be con
tradicted and defies contradiction, was received by
os a tew days since from a gentleman of the highest
respectability. This statement speaks for itself:
’To the Editor of tie Natc'te: Courier Dear
Sir— l L’ive you below a full account of the informa
tion received in relation to the persons who have been
procuring copies of Gen. Taylor’s deed to negroes,
A, in Jefferson county, Mississippi.
I have already sent you a certified copy of a letter,
purporting to have been written by Wm. Stamps, the
handwriting of which bears the strongest resemblance
to that of S mmel Stamps, of Jackson. Mississippi
The original is on file in lhe Probate Clerk’s office of
Jefferson county. The deputy clerk in that office
informs me ’hat he sent the copy required to lhe ad
dress of Samuel Stamps, Jackson, Miss.
Al out the *irst of this month, Ri<*hard Elward, of
\
person h>r a copy of the deed above mentioned, and
urged upiii said clerk, who was busily engaged in
writing, the importance of his. FJward’s, obtaining
said copy. The clerk proposed to prepare i* and send
it to N.ttchez by mail. Fl ward objected, and was
furnished with th transcript and paid for it. I am
further informed by the said clerk that early in July
last, a man who said that he was from New-Orleans,
whose name was not known, in company with a
brother of Wm. M. Smyth late of this State, applied
to him in Fayette fora like transcript of the same
deed —that tins was prepared tor them and paid lor
and that *hey then applied to the Assessor of that
county tor a copy of the assessment of Gen. Taylor’s
land and negroes, which was obtained by them, and
that neither of those men registered their names at the
Favette tavern. Yours, truly,
Jv-ksox. Miss., Aug. 24th, iS4S.

General Zachary Taylor, now on record in your of

and the fee shall be forwarded you upon the receipt of

“Wj'io is there among us that does not deprecate
tk-A X) 'stence of slavery in principle? And what
crime is there in praying for its abolition, ‘ where
thiscan be effected justly and peaceably, and easily
for both parlies.’ ”
The above is the language of the Memphis
Appeal, a prominent Cass organ in Tennessee.
At otie time the Appeal endeavored to plead
the statute of limitations against Gen. Cass’
“ prayer for the Abolition of Slavery every
where,” but finding the statute would not run
in Tennessee, that journal became desperate,
and resorts to the above mode of defending
its candidates. A few years ago the South was
assured that Van Buren was safe on this ques
tion. More recently Polk has been relied on
—yet both have deceived and betrayed the
confidence reposed in them. Benton and
Houston have committed the same overt act of
treason to the South—and now the same jour
nals who pledged for Polk and Van Buren,
are again offering their worthless pledges in
the market for Cass. The Appeal is one of
them, and the South can judge what pledges
from such a source are worth.
“A Popularity Beyond his Party.’’
The Charleston Mercury, byway of apolo.
gy for the increased vote of Col. Calhoun, in
the Second Congressional District of this State,
remarks : “ It will be recollected that he was a
Colonel of the Georgia Regiment in the Mexi
can war.and has a popularity beyond his party.’
Did the Mercury forget that Gen. Taylor was
a Major-General in the Mexican War, when
he acquired some distinction by whipping Mr.
Polk’s particular friend and distinguished Mex
ican General, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna,
by which he acquired a popularity beyond his
party? Perhaps, however, this latter fete may
account for old Zack’s being so very obnoxious
to Mr. Polk and many of his admirers. It
certainly was not very courteous to Mr. Polk
to flog his favorite General so badly, especially
after the President had withdrawn so many of
the old Hero’s veterans from his command.
Slavery in Missouri. —The Missourians

rests of that state would not be promoted by a
legislative act declaring that no person born in
it after 1850 shall be held as a slave. The St.
Louis Organ, a democratic journal,says it should
not be surprised if some immediate measures
were taken to gradually free tho State from
this acknowledged evil, and adds that the thou
sands of emigrants who now avoid that state
and make for territories north of it will come
there, and Missouri will be, in developed re
sources, what she is naturally, the richest state
in the Union.

tack of Epilepsy, bordering on Congestive Apoplexy,
made such inroads upon his constitution as rendered
him peculiarly liable to its destructive tendency
His last illness was ushered in by irregular Inter

lowed by a congestive chill, from which he recover
ed partially, but only to be stricken with complete
congestive apoplexy. He Ins been long known to
the bar, and in the councils of bis State. A kind
and indulgent parent and husband, his death lias
left a void io the bosoms of a bereaved family never
again to be tilled on earth.

The name and the services of Major Powers have
for long years been associated with the welfare and
prosperity of Effingham, and that ancient county
never lost a truer man, nor a citizen more devoted to
her best interests. To his good judgment and hon
est purpose, aided by worthy coadjutors, Effingham
is mainly indebted tor the judicious investment and
constant accumulation of her school fund, until it has
arrived at being at this moment the largest of any
county in tais Sta’e, with perhaps one exception. As
a consequence of this management, Effingham now
boasts of one of the best Academical Institutions to
be found in this State.
A personal acquaintance of some years’ with Major
Powers, has taught us to entertain the highest re
spect for his abilities, entire confidence in his integ
rity, and warm admiration for his many social vir
tues. Peace to his ashes. — Savannah Republican

PROSPECTUS OF
THE SEVENTH VOLUME
OF THE
SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR,
A Monthly Journal,
Devoted to the Interests of Southern Agriculture.
EDITED BY DANIEL LEE, M.D.
Illustrated with numerous elegant and costly
Engravings.
TERMS.—ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM,
IN ADVANCE.
The character and object of the SOUTHERN
CULTIVATOR are so well known, wherever it has
been read that the Publishers deem it scarcely ne
cessary to say anything in reference thereto in sub
mitting a Prospectus, for the SEV ENTH Y OLUME.
To establish an
AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL
worthy of the South, and her varied and diversified
products, industry and resources, has been their
highest ambition; and although their efforts have been
but poorly rewarded, they flatter themselves their
labor has not been in vain. The services of an
Editor Dr. LEE, one of the first practical and scien
tific Agriculturists in the Union, have been secured
at a heavy expense; and the work is embellished by
a most accomplished Artist, whose labors are exclu
sively devoted to its illustration. Indeed, no effort nor
expense has oeen spared to render the work most
useful and instructive to those for whose exclusive
benefit it is designed. Having performed fully, as
we think, our duty, it remains to be seen whether
the Planters of the South will “ put their shoulders
to the wheel” and aid us and themselves in this great
work of improving the husbandry and meliorating
the social condition of the whole people. We think
they will, and it is our confidence in their intelligence
and liberality which has sustained us through years
of unrewarded toil. The Work should he in the
hands of and read by every one who has the charge
of a family in the Southern States; and to show how
earnest we are in our desire to excite an effort among
our friends to extend its circulation and usefulness,
we offer the following splendid Premiums to those
who may interest themselves in procuring subscribers :
$750 in Premiums.
J2j*For the highest number of eubeeribers, not less
than one hundred, sent by any one individual, a
premium of twenty-five dollars.
53* For the next highest number, not less than
eighty, twenty dollars.
the next highest number,’not less than
sixty, fifteen dollars.
F° r die next highest number, not less than
fifty, ten dollars.
For the next highest number, not Jess than
forty, five dollars.
These Premiums will be paid in the most approved
Agricultural works, and will apply to each of the fol
lowing named ten States, viz ; North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. So that
each State may secure an entire list of premiums, if
the friends of Agriculture bestir themselves. They
will receive the work at the Club price.
The premiums to be awarded on the first day of
February, 1849.
All persons who desire to enter the list for Pre
miums must notify us on forwarding the first names.
The first number of the Seventh Volume will be
issued on the FIRST OF JANUARY, 1849. It will
be published monthly, on fine paper, in quarto form,
each number containing SIXTEEN PAGES of close
ly printed matter, 9 by 12 inches square, forming a

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly- ReportTuesday, P. M.
COTTON.—We had quite an animated demand
in our Cotton market up to Saturday, and sales to a
considerable extent were made at the rates quoted
last week, say sjc. for strictly fair; but on that day
and since very little has been done, as buyers claim
ed a reduction of an jc. on the better qualities and }c.
on the lower grades, which holders were n< t willing
in submit to, and the business Ims been limited. The
sales of the week amount to 2,579 bales at the follow
ing rales : 19 at 4; 17 at 4} ; 19 at 4g ; 29 at 5;
68 at 5} ; 153 at 5} ; 16 at 5 5-16; 147 at 53; 96 at
5 7-16; 790 at 5} ;87at 5 9-16 ; 771 at 5J ; 110 at
5 11-16; 379 at 5} ; 27 at 5 13-16; 14 ats 15-16
and 28 bales at 6 cents. Since closing our inquiry
we hear of the sale of 140 bales, about Fair, at 5} cts.
We omit quotations this week, as our market is not
settled. We quote strictly fair at 5j cents.
Our weekly statement of receipts will show that
the crop is coming to market much earlier this year
than last, and that the receipts so far, this year,
amount to 116,282 bales against 62,564 same period
last year, and that the stock on hand at the latest
dates amounts to 182,052 bales against 172,910 bales
last year. Die exports to Great Britain, the Conti
nent of Europe and the Northern ports show an in
crease of 26,241 bales, whilst the exports to France
show a falling off of 4002 bales.
From particular inquiry made in this State and from
our various correspondents we are induced to believe
that the extent of the growing crop will be very much
reduced from the very favorable calculation made ear
lier in the season.
The last accounts from Liverpool, which we have
received only by Telegraph, has removed the hope
of any advance in price and we fear we must repea t
that the accounts look as though low prices were to
rule for some time to come; and this we think will
I a.-t until the political affairs of all Europe are in a
healthier state than they are at present.

Liverpool Markets.
Extracts of letters received tn this city, dated—
“LIVERPOOL, Sept. 15.—Since the departure of
the last steamer there has been a fair inquiry for cot
ton from the trade and for export. The demand con
tinues to be freely met by holders, and notwithstand
ing the large sales the market is much depressed with
decidedly a downward tendency in prices. Our quo
tations remain unchanged, fair Orleans being still
placed at 4|d.; fair Mobile 4£d., and fair Upland
4|d.; middling 3£ a 3|d. per lb. The demand, how
ever, is confined almost exclusively to the middling
qualities, the better and inferior descriptions being
nearly unsaleable. The sales for the week ending
this evening amount to 28,820 bales, of which specu
lators have taken 1300, and exporters 6400 bales. —
The American descriptions sold are 6400 Upland, at
3J a 4|; 12,300 Orleans, at 3J to 5f ; 4890 Alabama
and Mobiles at 2| to 4f , and 250 Sea Islands at 6A
to 15d. per lb. The total stock of cottoi in this port
is 556,000 bales, of which 415,000 is American.
Our corn market after having slightly advanced in
the early part of the week has again become quiet at
the prices current at the date of our last circular.—
Svrcet Flour, duty paid, is quoted 32s a 33s 6J per
bbl.; sour 29s a 30s per bbl. Free Wheat 7s 9d a 8s
9d per 70 lbs.; Indian Corn 34s a 36s per qr.; Indian
Corn Meal 17s 6d per bbl. The duty on Wheat is
now 5s per quarter, and on Flour 3s per bbl.
LIVERPOOL, 22d Sept. 1848.—We have again
to report a dull and heavy Colton market with a down
ward tendency in prices. Fair Orleans and Mo
bile are quoted Jd per lb lower, but with these ex
ceptions the quotations remain unchanged, at the same
time the demand is so freely met by holders that it is
impossible to sell any quantity at the current rates.
Fair Orleans are quoted at 4|d; Fair Uplands 4Jd,
and Fair Mobile 4d per lb; Middling 3f a 3}d. The
sales for the week are 25,030 bales, of which expor
ters have taken 3350 and speculators 500 bales. Os
the American descriptions sold 4500 are Uplands at
31 a 4J; 11,780 Orleans at 2j a 5.J; 4000 Mobile
and Alabama at 3 a 4, and 340 Sea Island at 7 a 12d
per lb.
The prevalence of Easterly winds having kept out
a large number of grain vessels our Corn Market has
again slightly advanced. Indian Ccrn is quoted at
35s a 37s per quarter. Indian Corn Meal 19s per
bbl. Sweet Flour 33s a 33s 6d. and Sour 29s a 30s.
per bbl. Wheat, 8s a 9s per 70 lbs. The duty on
Wheat is now 4s per quarter, and on Flour 2s 6d per
barrel.
CHARLESTON, OCT. 6.— Colton- When we
left the Cotton market at. the close of the previous
week the advance of 1- 16th to |c. obtained a day or
two prior to the date of our former publication, was
not only fully maintained, but there was even a strin
gency in prices under this advance, particularly on
the belter sortsr, which did not suit the views of pur
chasers, which prompted many in a measure to with
draw from the market. There was no change in the
aspect of affairs, throughout Friday last, the first day
of the week under review. A good demand prevail
ed for the article, but sellers would not let themselves
down from the position they had assumed at the time
we made up our former report, and the sales were
consequently limited, the unfavorable advices, how
ever, received by the steamer America on Saturday
had the tendency, in a measure, to shake the confi
dence of holders, and during the day they accepted
prices they had previously refused. On Saturday
and Monday the sales were light. As was also the
case on Tuesday, at somewhat irregular prices; the
increase in the receipts, however, as the week ad
vanced, coupled with a slight reduction in prices,
brought buyers out on Wednesday, and during that
and the succeeding day upwards of ‘2OOO bales were
sold. The transactions of the week have been con
fined, principally, to the better qualities, and when
we closed our inquiries yesterday, these grades had
suffered a reduction of an Jc. on the prices current at
the opening of the week, establishing the following
quotations, viz: Middling to Good Middling 5| as|;
Middling Fair 6 ; and Fair and Fully Fair 6J a 6|r.
The aggregate sales since our last report foot up 3-00
bales, against the receipt in the same time of 8407
bales. The transactions comprise 6 bales at 5; 29
at SJ; 56 at s|; 51 nt SJ; 87 at s|; 19 at sj; 56 at
s|; 56 at 5 13-16; 194 at s§; 491 at 6; 277 nt 6
1-16; 876 at 6j; 915 at 6 3-16; 473 at 6}; and 11
bales at 6 5-16ths. We have no transactions to re
port in Long Cotton.
Rice. — There has been some little inquiry for
Rice during the week, but limited as seems to be the
demand, purchasers have found a good deal of diffi
culty in executing their orders, owing to the limited
supply coming to market, and the high prices de
manded on the part of sellers. The receipts have
been 966 tierces, the most, if not the whole, of which
has changed hands, principally at S3j per 100, for
the old and new crop, of prime quality.
Corn. — The Corn market continues very quiet,
owing to the absence of arrivals, ami our quotations
for North Carolina and Virginia, must at present be
considered nominal, as we have had no cargo sales
to establish prices. There was a sale of 2000 sacks
country com at 69c., with the sack inclusive.
Elour.— -We have had another very dull week for
all descriptions of Flour. The demand fir some time
back has been limited, and the sapply in the mean
time has gradually increased, until we have now a
heavy stock on the market, comprising, however,
chiefly country brands. Georgia, which was held
last week at 6f. lias been offered at 86 per bbl. The
only sale of consequence made during the week was
a lot of 100 bbls, new Western at 85j per bbl. Vir
ginia has been retailing at 6a 6$ |>er bbl. The re
ceipts comprise 214 bbls. Western and 320 bbls, by
the Railroad.
Oats. — There was an arrival during the week of
some ‘2 400 bushels from Maryland, which were sold
at 31 cents per bushel.
Hay.— The receipts during the w’eek have been
very light, not exceeding, perhap-s, 300 bales North
River, which were sold at 68c. There is no Eastern
offering, from the fact that we have no arrivals from
that quarter. The market is abundantly supplied
with North River, which may be quoted at 65 a 63c.
Salt. — The demand during the week has been
limited to small lots. The sales have been principal
ly at 81.25 jw*r sack
Racon.— The demand for this article since our lust
has been very limited. The market has been rather
heavy than otherwise, and prices have occasionally
turned in favor of the purchaser. We continue to
quote Sides from 5| to 6c., the bulk of the operations,
however, have been effected at 5J a sfc. So also
with Shoulders, which are quoted at 5£ a 6c. Sales
5| a 51 cents.
hard - We quote extremes 9f a 10}c., the bulk
of the sales, however, which have been limited, have
been within the range of 9| a 10c. in bbls, and kegs.
Groceries.--The grocery market has. if we except
Molasses, become quiet, as the transactions in the
leading articles comprised umler this head, have been
on the most limited scale, ami confined to small ope
rations for the retail trade. There has been some de
m ind for Molasses. The receipts of the week reach
132 hhds. Cuba description, some 70 bhds. of which
had been sold to arrive, last week, at 17c., whi-h
was re|K»rted at the lime. The balance, together with
this purchase, and also about 130 hhds. sold from
store at 171 c. is for coastwise shipment, which leaves
our marke. with but a limited supply. We quote
174 a 18c ; other descriptions nominal.
R tgainsr.— Sales have been made during the
week, in Dundee, in lots, at extremes ranging from
16 t<> 17.jc.; and in Kentucky, at prices ruling from
174 U P to 184 c-» as ’ n quality.
Rope.— There have been received since our last
some 1300 coils Western, and 300 a 400 coils from N.
Yoik and Philadelphia. Some 500 coils of the West
ern had been sold to arrive, at prices which would
give no criterion of the present state of the market.
We quote prices from 10 to 10|c. for Western, and
up to lie. for New York and Philadelphia.
Domestic Liquors.— The market has been very
quiet throughout the week, as the only transaction of
any consequence, was the sale of 50 bbls. N. E. Rum
at 30c. per gallon. We quote New Orleans Whis
key. in small parcels, from 244 to 27c. per gallon.
Exchange. — There lias been an improved demand
for sterling bills during the week, at rather improved
rates, ami we now quote 74 a 8 per ct. prern Checks
on New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston,
J per cent. prem.
Ereights.— We quoted the rate of Freight to Li
verpool last week at Jd. for Cotton in square bags,
and remarked at the time that an engagement had
been effected on even in.<re favorable terms to the
shipper. The engagement was made for 1000 bags
at 5-16ths, which lias since become the current rate
for square bags. A vessel is loading for Havre at |c.
for square bags Cotton. To New York and Boston,
Cotton, in square bags 25c.
CH ARLESTON, Oc>. 10 Cotton.— The Cotton
market continues to be very much neglected. Ibe
sales yesterday were limited to some 3- l 0 bales, at
prices ranging from 5j to 6Jc. Prices have a down
ward tendency.
Rice. Nothing doing in this article.
Ereights.— A vessel was taken up yesterday for
Havre at ;C. for Cotton iu square bagc.
